Congratulations to Chris on his win!
End of Game Statements
Chris Geggus (Genoa): Usual lucky die roll! Have to say that game was hard, hard work. All players deserve a pat on the back, including Rob who just got caught at the wrong time. I still say agression works best in a four hander and good die rolling works even better! If Dave had taken my 2 areas before I played the " public " famine, it could have been much closer. Essentially a 3 misery level swing would have put it right on the burner.
Thanks Chris. Enjoyed this one a lot, primarily due to having to keep right on the ball all the way through. Looking forward to the next one. Would be nice to get the full quorum this time.
Christopher Hunt (Paris): Congratulations Chris. A fine win. Thanks to Chris for his correcting my errors and running the game so well. This game was much closer than I thought it would be. Agree with Chris better with a full quorum.
Bob Robles (Venice): Fantastic game, as usual. I had to push the envelope, no matter. Congratulations to our winner!
Dave Hooton (Barcelona): I agree with Chris G. about the die rolls, which is why I didn't play the War card until it didn't matter. I was comfortably ahead until I had to face him without the Cathedral advantage, and then I lost every die roll against him, and Christopher also lost almost every die roll. Some of the final die rolls between Barcelona and Genoa were worth over 150 VPs apiece.
Thanks for running the game, Chris H. Could we convince you to a bit of the game free to get a new set of for Chris G.? :-)
Chris Geggus (Genoa): I do fully accept that I had a lot of luck with the die rolls this time around. Even more than usual dare I say! However, I always look at the dice as being a tool to use in a game. Keep hammering them and at some stage they will go with you. If you don't try, then they will never go with you. I always aim for as many attacks as possible, as 4 wins out of 8 is better than 2 out of 3 in my opinion. I try to avoid the big value attacks unless for a reason and yes, I did fail a few, but in each set I always had a good number that did work. I would have played War at the earliest opportunity on the assumption that I would win. Of course I may have lost, but if it happens early, you still have further opportunities to claw back. Lose heavily and someone else can become the target for tonight.
Chris - I agree with David. Buy some new dice and I will train them in the art of the GEGS ninja as well. Dice are my friends - be warned all!
